Publisher's summary

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett must accompany a Silicon Valley CEO on a hunting trip - but soon learns that he himself may be the hunted - in the thrilling new novel from number-one New York Times best-selling author C. J. Box.

When the governor of Wyoming gives Joe Pickett the thankless task of taking a tech baron on an elk hunting trip, Joe reluctantly treks into the wilderness with his high-profile charge. But as they venture into the woods, a man-hunter is hot on their heels, driven by a desire for revenge. Finding himself without a weapon, a horse, or a way to communicate, Joe must rely on his wits and his knowledge of the outdoors to protect himself and his companion.

Meanwhile, Joe's closest friend, Nate Romanowski, and his own daughter Sheridan learn of the threat to Joe's life and follow him into the woods. In a stunning final showdown, the three of them come up against the worst that nature - and man - have to offer.

Wow

I think I say this after every Joe Pickett novel, but Wow, that’s the best yet. How, after all the novels, C.J. Box can still create such great story lines based on the same characters just proves how great of an author he is. The only bad part of it is that it had to end. Now the worst part, the year long wait for the next one.

Really top notch...

I have read a lot of captivating books by CJ Box in the Joe Picket series, so it’s hard to annoint this the best one, but it is certainly up at the top. The band is back together again, and with twitchy new cast members, complex bad guys and a lot of story lines blending, you will want to binge listen to this one. Enjoy!

Vintage CJ Box

Good story with familiar characters and lots of twists and turns. The mountain setting and the wildlife were interesting. I love Nate Romanowski and Box sets up his next book perfectly. I can hardly wait. BUT, please get a different reader. He was truly bad. I am glad I also had the print book so I didn’t have to listen to him the whole time.

Fabulous I couldn’t put it down

I haven’t read (listened) to a Joe Pickett novel before and i wonder how I haven’t heard of this series before. C.J. box is a talented writer and i was there, in the mountains, experiencing everything that Joe and the rest of the characters were. I look forward to investigating the rest of the series!

Well done

Engrossing a real nail biter. Enjoyed the storytelling which had its share of twosome and turns. Joe handles himself well whether challenged by the governor, a tech billionaire or the forces of nature.
